How To Make A Vegan Elemental Shake

Many people have been asking for a vegetarian version of Absorb Plus and believe me, we are desperately wanting to make that available to you!

In the meantime, I have sourced some ingredients for you so that you can make up your own Vegan elemental shakes, and I have packaged the ingredients into Kits for easy ordering.

I give the recipe for making your own elemental shakes in my book, The IBD Remission Diet, however, it is very difficult to find some of the ingredients. Many of them are available only in bulk – like 500 kg bulk!

So we have contracted with some suppliers and packaged the ingredients up into smaller quantities.

Each of these Vegan Elemental Shake Kits contain a one-week supply of elemental shake ingredients, based on consuming 6 shakes per day.

You can choose from the Basic version – with only the elemental shake ingredients

Or the Premium version – which contains all the healing supplements as recommended in The IBD RemissionDiet as well.

After you’ve purchased your kit and you’re ready to mix up your first shake, here are the easy instructions for what to add and how much.

The only thing you might have difficulty with is knowing how much maltodextrin to use. The instruction sheet tells you to use 50 grams, which is about 1/3 of a rounded cup… but rounded how much? Well, here’s what 50 g looks like in my 1/3 cup measure:

And here’s my video showing you how easy it is to use your LTYG BlenderBottle (which you receive free in the kits) to whip up your shakes in about a minute.

BUT do not use the ingredients I show in this video, use your own ingredients from the elemental shake kit:

Hello, I am looking for a white rice Protein powder. I cannot do soups or any other shakes. The Brown Rice protein make s me cough and it is to chalky and gritty. I am afraid this will cause more damage. I have tried every brand

I’m afraid we aren’t aware of any company that manufactures a white rice protein powder product. Jini recommends the Sun Warrior classic which is a whole grain brown rice protein and offers it in her vegan kits as it is the best vegetable protein she has used. Sun Warrior also makes a product called “Warrior Blend” which is comprised of a mix of pea, cranberry, and hemp seed protein so you may want to take a look at that one if you haven’t already. If you find a powder that works well for you, we’d love to hear about it and we wish you all the best in your search!

If you’ve tried every protein powder under the sun and can’t seem to find one that you can tolerate, you may want to switch gears and try something different. Check out the blog link below for information about how Jini suggests using common foods for IBD:

If you have issues with tapioca and corn then it could be very difficult to gain healthy weight with an elemental diet as the carb component of these diets is typically either corn or tapioca based. What you may want to try is something like the weight gain shakes Jini mentioned at a blog post she wrote on Monday. You can check it out here:

I got the vegan shake for my eight year old son. He can’t seem to get pass the gritty of the shake so instead of adding water I used hemp and rice milk to tone it down some. Still does not like it but it take him the whole day to finish off one cup. I’m not giving up still trying because he needs the nutrition.

You could use dextrose but the uptake is much quicker than with maltodextrin so it would likely result in a ‘sugar rush’ feeling followed by a sugar crash so we use and recommend the tapioca maltodextrin as the optimal way to go.

I got the week supply of vanilla protein shake and a tube of chocolate protein shake. I like both of them, the vanilla my choice sometimes I combine them together using water, will try using a nut milk the next time. I give a thumb up for both of them. To me they are the best vegan shakes next to absorb vanilla plus my favorite just saying.

Hello Jini! I recently used the elemental kit diet, a month ago i came down with a bad case of diverticulitis, very painful and swollen, even my bladder was in pain, I could hardly walk. I now believe the flair up was caused by a steroid epidural I had 2 weeks prior, due to low back pain, car accident related. I had not had a flair up this bad and none at all in 10 years. The antibiotic were brutal on my gut too. As soon as I came home I researched and found you on YouTube. I follow the bone broth for 7 days, as I could not eat at all, I lost 10 lbs. in the first 4 days… and when inflammation was down, I started the elemental kit for a week. The results were amazing: I started to have energy, my skin cleared, I have brown spots on face for years, my wrinkles even went away! my hair was thinning for year and it also got better. I’ve had joint pain for years, my body does not detox well…that also was relieved! Now I am taking the Absorb Plus and doing 3 shakes a day, and at night I am eating very carefully, started slow with cooked carrots, etc., my digestion is very slow and does not move every day… I understand how dangerous is to be constipated, I am drinking plenty of water and Calm, calcium citrate every night with potassium but still very sluggish. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your wisdom, I will now continue the Absorb Plus routine to lose the 30 lbs. that i need to, I’m 14 lbs. down now in 4 weeks. Can’t thank you enough!!

I cannot use the Vegan Shake due to my diverticulitis and IBS. However, I continue to use the Absorb Plus Plain even though I am dairy sensitive. I am hoping that since it’s elemental, it will bother my stomach. I really would like travel size as the big tub is too cumbersome.

Thank you for your comment and we hope Absorb Plus is working well for you! We do offer the sample size tubs which are a little more convenient for traveling or some customers will put individual servings into ziplock bags to take with them during travel.

The Sun Warrior Classic line uses a vegan rice protein so it might be fine for you if you’ve never experienced any issues with rice in the past. We’ve received a lot of positive feedback about the vegan proteins and we’d love to hear your thoughts as well.

If you decide not to try the product, you can return the unopened container to the LTYG Shoppe (assuming that’s where you purchased it) within 30 days of your purchase for a refund.
